Definición

  • Impotence, often called erectile dysfunction (ED) when discussed in a biomedical context, is the inability to sustain a penile erection sufficient for satisfactory sexual intercourse. An estimated 15 to 30 million men worldwide suffer from some degree of this condition; more prevalent among older men, younger men are also vulnerable to ED. While biomedical treatments for ED, like Viagra®, have become popular worldwide, the causes of this condition can be physical and psychological, and are often a mixture of both.
